]]>While taking a break from a church conference, Sara and her friends stopped by Seal Beach in La Jolla to watch the sunset and admire the sea lions. The Minnesota native, who is going to school in Redding, CA, was wearing a sweet floral button-up shirt and black jeggings.

“I’m pretty comfy casual,” Sara told Go Girl. “I kind of mix it up a lot, but I definitely like the softer look. The bohemian, flowery, free spirit.”

She explains that a lot of her clothes are 90s inspired: she tucks in her shirts, she wears a lot of high-waisted jeans, and even rocks high pony tails. She’s a big fan of jumpsuits and balloon pants and sweaters.

“I don’t have a special fashion. If I like it, I grab it!” she laughs.

]]>Sarah and a few friends came down to Southern California from up north in Redding and decided to stop by the beach to see the sea lions. The Hong Kong-born student was wearing a bright blue floral dress that she had just purchased from Forever 21 when Go Girl saw her enjoying the sunset view.

“We came out for a conference and we’ve never been to San Diego. We thought we’d come out and look at the sea lions, and they’re really fun,” says Sarah, who bought her dress because she “thought this was a cool color.” When it comes to drawing fashion inspiration, she told Go Girl, “I look at magazines and stuff, but mostly I just go out and see what I like and what looks good on me and I buy it.”

]]>Lara’s beautiful distressed leather Frye boots were so cool that we had to interrupt her work and ask her to let us show you! She said she fell in love with Frye boots a while back when she spotted her first pair (a more urban country style) at Macy’s and noticed that they were made in the USA. They quickly became her favorite pair. When she’s not living in her boots, she trades them for a pair of Chacos and heads for the outdoors!

She said of the gorgeous pair that she is wearing today: “Now these are my favorite. I wear them all the time. They’re a little more comfortable than my first ones!”

“I try to stay somewhat on trend,” says Sarah, a big cat fan who even wore tiny gold cat earrings. ”I look at Taylor Swift a lot. I love her style so much. I also look to Olivia Palermo.”

]]>Belle at Ulta didn’t want to be on camera, but she gave us some great advice on how to navigate the emerging makeup trend of red lips. She explained that choosing the right color really depends on your skin tone. For light skin, choose hints of orange or coral. Medium skin should go with hints of pink or cranberry, and darker skin tones can pull off the cool undertones – reds and figs.

How does Belle decide whether red lips are an option for the day? “It depends on how sassy I feel,” she smiled.

Alicia told Go Girl that she’s wanted to do her hair like that for a long time, and two years ago, she made the leap.

“No one has ever touched my dreads,” Alicia told Go Girl. “It’s just me. One day, I just kind of realized myself and that I was going to do what I was going to do regardless of anybody else, and I’ve never been as happy as I am today.”

To carry her lunch and drink to the beach, Shaffon used a bright orange bag from Urban Outfitters.

When asked what she’d call it if she had to put a name on her fashion, Jana said, “Random!”

Paige says she used to look at a lot of blogs for her style inspiration but now, “it’s kind of nice just to do my own thing.”

“I like to wear baggy clothes. That’s all I like to wear. It’s not that I’m uncomfortable with my body, it’s just that I like the way it looks. I’ve got smaller legs, so doing baggier on top is what I feel most comfortable in.”

Her tattoo is a result of her senior dissertation, which quotes Edgar Allen Poe’s The Raven. With that, and the style of the retail shop she’s working in, you’d expect her to have an edgier look, maybe featuring a lot of black, but she says she sticks to softer colors, flowy fabrics, and a more Bohemian vibe.

She changes her style to suit the atmosphere of the store she works in, though. “It’s nice to explore, to get into different realms of fashion,” she told Go Girl.

]]>Jaimie fit in perfectly with the laid-back scene at Ocean Beach as she rode her Beach Cruiser around while wearing shades, a handmade beanie, and flip-flops — which come with a back story. While in Brazil, Jaimie lost her sandals, but as fate would have it, she found a pair of bright yellow flip-flops looking for an owner.

When Go Girl asked her to describe her style, the answer came as no surprise. “It’s comfortable, always,” Jaimie says. “It has to be, because if not, then I’m upset the whole time. I just don’t feel like I look good if I’m not comfortable. I’m a very active person, so it’s got to be comfortable.”

“I love my bag, which I found on Pinterest. I chose the leather, the pretty striped inside, and check out the floral print!”

“I love the prints,” says Carlynnea, who noted that because she did a smoky eye, she decided on pale, dewy lips and simple foundation. “I love more out-there clothing.”

“We made it a point when we got together to just be active with each other,” says the journalism major, who wore a denim-colored, button-up chambray shirt, dark khaki shorts, and brown knee-high boots. “I’m making it a point to try to eat healthy.”

They weren’t exactly sure of the evening’s plans, but they gave us a few minutes to talk about her style! She described her style as “classy eclectic, not crazy bohemian.” Her favorite store? Urban Outfitters, but she loves to find thrift shop awesomeness like the sweater she’s wearing here and put looks together to fit that vibe.

We asked her adorable husband how he would describe her style: “I’m the wrong guy to ask – I don’t know all the vocabulary. I just know she’s beautiful.”

“I’m excited now because it’s spring, which means brighter lipsticks. Another favorite trend is tiny winged eyeliner, which I’m still trying to get the hang of!”

]]>We met Maya while hiking in San Diego. Her bright, cheerful outfit caught our eye and Go Girl just had to stop her to find out more about her style. We learned that Maya is an avid rock climber, an artist, and a student.

“My style is actually hard to explain — just kind of form meets function,” says Maya who gets inspiration from figures like Frida Kahlo, native American styles, and Pinterest. “I like vintage pieces and things that I can spontaneously go on hikes in, but are still cute. I love color. I love embroidery. I love things from different countries.”

“I just got these Birkenstocks, and I’m so excited about them. I’m actually a rock climber and all my friends on the rock climbing team have them and I was the only one without them. They’re just so comfortable.”

We loved her short, free hairstyle: “I used to have long hair – down to my butt, actually – and it feels good, but do you know what? Most people, especially other women, are nicer to women with short hair!”

She wandered into the toy store after a salon appointment on orders from her husband to go do something fun and not kid-related. She just cut her hair not too long ago, from below her shoulders to this fun, punky style.

“I love it. It’s just so much easier to look put together when I’m running out the door. I can throw my hair up in a ponytail if it’s long, but it looks messy. Now I just throw in some Redken Rewind and just mess it up and go.”

She says she goes for more of a classic style and then adds her own twist with fun accessories, like the ring she’s wearing: a gift from her parents, which is inscribed with her favorite bible verse. Her favorite places to shop are J. Crew and Urban Outfitters, which she says don’t automatically seem to go together, but she likes to figure out her own style that way.

“Simple is best. Find a color you look good in and work with that. There are not a lot of rules!”

Isabella said she had no trouble cutting her curly, shoulder-length locks to get her trendy hair cut. In fact, once she cuts her hair, she grows it out just to cut it again.

“Crazy, colorful,” Isabella told Go Girl when describing her personal style. “I just dress in my own type of style.”

She says she goes through a lot of clothes, although she doesn’t have that many at one time; she likes to cycle through them, while hanging on to a few favorite pieces. She’s fond of silk vintage numbers and she looks to celebrities for style inspiration.

“I look at Beyonce, but I don’t really copy her. If I could pull off Rihanna’s look, I would for sure, especially the red lips. I would say that my staples are probably more like Jennifer Aniston’s – you know how she wears jeans and boots and a jacket with a scarf? My look’s a little edgier than hers. My staples are a t-shirt, jeans, a jacket and a scarf, a high bun and red lips.”
